Discussing Mental Health - An interview with Abi Lemon

Mental health is a serious topic and all too common in the design industry, but due to fear most of us keep our problems private, and some never seek help. To encourage people to open up, to talk about their problems and get the help they need, in this episode Ian interviews Abi Lemon to have an honest and open discussion about the challenges they’ve both faced with mental health, how they acknowledged they had a problem, how they sought out help, and how they’ve come through the other side with a positive outlook on life. We also discuss toolkit ideas to focus on positivity, thoughts on imposter syndrome, how to work on personal development and a few book recommendations too. Abi Lemon is the founder of Brand Pharmacy, focusing on adventurous outdoor brands.
